Intel CEO: Windows 8 is one of the best things that’s ever happened to our company

Intel CEO Paul Otellini commented the new version of Windows. According to him the new OS is one of the best things that’s ever happened to their company. He also stated that Windows 8 will allow tablets to get a legitimacy into mainstream computing because of the better security that it will provide and the user-friendly Metro interface.

That’s one pretty heady statement. Speaking at a Credit Suisse technology conference, Otellini batted away worries that he called myths surrounding Intel. These myths covered the idea that ARM will hurt Intel, that the PC is toast and that the chip giant can’t do mobile well.
